The program initially adds a seam allowance with a standard width of 10 mm on the whole piece perimeter. The width
of the seam allowance on specific segments can be modified. To modify the width of the seam allowance on a
contour segment, enter the « GARMENT TOOL » mode, click on the piece, click on « Edit seam allowance » button.
Then click on the contour segment on which the seam allowance width has to be modified. In the box on the upper
side menu, type a new value for seam allowance width. The new width is applied on the contour between the two
grade points. The seam allowance can be of three types: fixed, variable or step.
